Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe
Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe is the ultimate combination of rich, nutty peanut butter and sweet, ripe bananas, creating a moist and flavorful treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 grams) Mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
- ½ cup (106 grams) Granulated sugar
- ½ cup (106 grams) Light brown sugar
- ½ cup (113 grams) Melted butter or oil
- ½ cup (113 grams) Sour cream
- ½ cup (128 grams) Peanut butter
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (213 grams) All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup (170 grams) Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a dark-coated pan, reduce the temperature to 325°F (160°C).
- Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. For easy removal, line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving overhangs on the long sides.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter or oil, sour cream, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is well blended.
- Gently stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips (if using). Mix until just combined and no dry streaks remain—be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter).
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
- Carefully lift it out using the parchment paper overhangs and transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely. The peanut butter flavor is best when the bread is fully cooled—or even the next day!
